Thanks Paul! You are absolutly correct. This was one of the rare cleaner areas at the farm too, but when I got home last night everything had to be soaked and washed immediatly including my gear and myself!.. Everything was filthy but it fun!!

Susan, I didn't have a protective filter on the lens but I should have had one. I don't own any..

A few of the piglets ran up to the lens, sniffed it and got it full of mud. I cleaned it and it looks ok but that wasn't smart of me to go out there unprotected. Maybe I'll pick up one for this specific 'funny animal'lens, but I don't think that they make any kind of filtersfor the super wide angle lenses such as mine. I neve saw a place where it could be screwed in..

Thanks for the comments.

The piglet is adorable, especially at the angle you shot him. He would be a great character in a childrens book. Ma

Great angle and DOF! Your gallery is just as impressive. You inspire us all. This shot will be in the finals. Good job!

Thank you very much; Patricia! I value your opinion. You have a great eye for seeing a winner and your right almost every time!!

I hope your right this time again!

I think that this little piggie with the boo boo turned out quite well also. The late day light was in my favor. I have some more reeeaally funny pictures of the piglets, but I'm not sure that the others are suited for this site!! THanks again. Donnarae~
